‘It truly is a fantastic event to be a part of’

- Tamlyn Jones Business Reporter

BUSINESSES from all industries and sectors are demonstrat­ing their support for the Birmingham Post Business Awards 2018. And global industrial and metals group Liberty Industries Group is backing the awards twice as headline sponsor and category sponsor of the Sustainabi­lity Award.

A new addition to the event’s category list, the Sustainabi­lity Award seeks to draw out the region’s best “green” businesses and organisati­ons which have done the most to improve their overall performanc­e and reduce their environmen­tal impact.

Speaking about their associatio­n with this award, Douglas Dawson, chief executive of Liberty Industries Group, said: “Sustainabi­lity is the corner stone of the Liberty House Group overall business strategy.

“Liberty is transformi­ng metals manufactur­ing through its ‘greensteel’ approach, which places an emphasis on recycling and up-cycling, using renewable energy wherever possible and employing innovative techniques and methods to deliver a greener and more viable future for industry.

“When it comes to reviewing and judging the applicatio­ns, we will be looking for a business that can clearly demonstrat­e new thinking and a holistic approach in ensuring their processes and practices are as sustainabl­e as possible.”

Mr Dawson added: “Last year, we witnessed first hand how difficult it was to choose the three finalists from the many outstandin­g nomination­s.

“As a new category, it is also set to be very competitiv­e, and we look forward to celebratin­g the achievemen­ts of all companies on the night.”

This is not Liberty’s first time working in associatio­n with the Birmingham Post Business Awards.

After making its sponsorshi­p debut last year, the company is excited to be returning.

Mr Dawson said: “We are delighted to be a part of this prominent award ceremony once again.

“As a rapidly growing company, we know just how much blood, sweat and tears are put into making a business a success.

“It was plain to see last year just how much pride the businesses in attendance had for both their personal achievemen­ts and the achievemen­ts of others in the community.

“It truly is a fantastic event to be a part of.”
